Jumeirah Islands Jumeirah Islands consists of a total of 50 island clusters covering 300 hectares of land and encompassing 736 villas, 184 apartments and 104 townhouses surrounded by waterfalls, lagoons, and gardens. Envisaged to be an exclusive and upmarket residential community, Jumeirah Islands (at some levels) have failed to deliver. Nakheel had come under bad press for their quality of build, but the voices have died down. Are you still angry or upset over the build quality? Do you own one of the villas? Are there any pending issues that still need to be heard? Voice your opinion here.
